Chapter 12 Rush to the Market
As if seeing Ye Xiaoying unhappy, Li Tiezhu added at this time,
"I'm afraid that this chicken is not clean, and when the time comes, it will be smoked to the lady, so I will help catch it."
Seeing him so nervous and cautious, Ye Xiaoying was angry and funny, and said with a straight face at this time: "Don't eat again, wait for cold rice and cold dishes?" ”
"Hey, hey." Li Tiezhu smiled stupidly at this time. Although the lady is not happy, she still cares about him very much. Li Tiezhu didn't give up his strength, and soon forgot everything about what had just happened.
At this lunch, both of them were full, but Li Tiezhu did not stop, got up and washed the dishes and chopsticks neatly, and then sat on the small stool in the courtyard and began to weave bamboo strips.
looked at him without stopping, and Ye Xiaoying became an idler, wandering around the empty four-walled room with nothing to do, and everything was clean.
No wonder Li Tiezhu's hands are so rough, working non-stop every day, isn't that it? Ye Xiaoying looked around and saw that there was nothing she could do, so she had to return to the courtyard again, after all, it was bright outside.
Looking at the vacant house in the corner, Ye Xiaoying planned in her heart that she could raise a few rabbits, and looked at Zhou Lan's rooster appearance, and when the time came, she would also raise some, there were hens and roosters, and let the hens lay eggs.
Thinking of chicken, Ye Xiaoying thought of fragrant omelettes, egg custards, and scrambled eggs, but fortunately, she had just filled her stomach, so she didn't have the fragrance of gluttony.
Although the rabbit meat is fragrant, it is still a familiar dish that is more delicious, rabbit meat, pork, Ye Xiaoying can't help but miss the taste of pork, and then go to hug a piglet in the future, and by the end of the year, it will be almost fat and strong.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but purse the corners of my lips.
At this time, Li Tiezhu was bowing his head, his hands were directing the dance, the basket had been knitted by a third, the bottom had been made, and it gradually took on a shape.
He is inserting a thin piece of bamboo into it from the erected bamboo strip and compacting it.
"There are still a few in the house, and I don't need to use them in a hurry."
But Li Tiezhu seemed to be in a hurry, his hands and feet were fast, his eyes did not squint, and his movements were no less skillful than the embroidery needle in the woman's hand, but the beads of sweat on his forehead fell one by one.
"I'm going to the market tomorrow, I'll make up a few more and sell them." He was enlightened, and knew that he could exchange them for money if they were sold. Ye Xiaoying sat down beside him, and also picked up a bamboo strip in her hand.
At this time, Li Tiezhu nervously pushed her hand away: "These can't be moved, they will cut your hand." ”
Afraid that Ye Xiaoying wouldn't believe it, he showed his hand and said, "I'm because my skin is rough and the flesh is thick, even if it's cut, it's fine." At this time, his hand still had the two scratches from yesterday, which had just healed, but he didn't care.
Ye Xiaoying only felt warm in her heart, caring about herself and caring about herself like this, which made her feel a little moved, but it was just moved.
Thinking of what happened to the original owner, Ye Xiaoying's heart suddenly chilled.
Watching him weave quietly, Ye Xiaoying didn't feel bored, anyway, there was no mobile phone here, no WiFi. I can only comfort myself, this can be regarded as appreciating folk art.
Ye Xiaoying found that Li Tiezhu seemed to have a watch in her heart, pinched the time, finished her work neatly, and cooked dinner early.
She was puzzled and wanted to ask Li Tiezhu, but Li Tiezhu had already pushed her in. Although there was a hint of longing in his eyes, at this time, he just lowered his head and rubbed his hands, and whispered, "Tomorrow we will go to the market together." ”
It is estimated that the time is only six or seven o'clock in the modern evening, there is no nightlife, the surroundings are quiet, and you can only hear the sound of Li Tiezhu outside still busy.
Ye Xiaoying found that she gradually became sleepy, the pillow bedding had the smell of sunshine, and she had never had peace in her heart, and she slept sweetly this night. I don't know when, I was suddenly woken up.
It was dark outside, and it was not dawn yet, Ye Xiaoying turned around dissatisfiedly and ignored it.
"Lady, get up quickly, if you don't get up, you won't be able to catch up."
That's right, Ye Xiaoying thought suddenly. Thinking of the kind of gaze that Widow Zhou looked at her, she got up with a bone, and after getting dressed and going out, Li Tiezhu was ready.
Holding Ye Xiaoying's hand, the other hand was holding a stack of baskets.
When he pushed open the door, Ye Xiaoying found that there was actually an ox cart outside. Li Tiezhu put the basket on the ox cart, and Ye Xiaoying saw that Li Tiezhu had already put in all the bamboo shoots dug up the day before yesterday, and there were as many as half a basket, but it was in his hands, and it was effortless.
He put the basket aside, and laid a cotton mat on the other side, and helped Ye Xiaoying up. Leaning on the back of the ox cart, since the legs can be straightened, it is quite comfortable. It's just a plank, but it doesn't block the wind at all.
The occasional sound of cows mooing, as well as the stars in the distance, made Ye Xiaoying suspect that it was late at night, did she have to hurry in the middle of the night?
"Lady, you wait a minute." Li Tiezhu seemed to remember something, he patted his head, only to hear the sound of knocking inside, Li Tiezhu came out quickly, and there was a thick but shabby coat in his hand, which was gently covered on Ye Xiaoying's body.
Then the whole person immediately jumped into the car and urged the ox cart forward.
The ox cart walked extremely slowly, and Ye Xiaoying, who was bumpy, wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep. If you fall into the pond or roll into the field, you can't be laughed at to death!
Is Li Tiezhu sleepy? And where did this carriage come from? Ye Xiaoying stretched out her head and asked Li Tiezhu. It was empty outside, and the sound was faint, and Li Tiezhu leaned his ear over to hear it clearly.
"The cow was borrowed from Big Bear's family." He was right. Ye Xiaoying thought that his family was still poor, and he was afraid that he had promised another prey.
As for the current hour, Li Tiezhu looked up and looked east.
"The fourth watch has passed, and it will be dawn soon, lady, you go to sleep first, and I will call you when it comes."
This road is really bumpy, a few steps, a pit, and a big stone, Ye Xiaoying only felt that her whole body was going to fall apart, her heart swirled up and down, it was strange that she could sleep, she had to close her eyes tightly and pretend to sleep.
Li Tiezhu's behavior of exchanging prey and people for things at every turn has to be changed. The fertilizer and water flowed into the fields of outsiders, and they all made wedding clothes for others after working hard for a long time.
It's just that Ye Xiaoying thought that everything Li Tiezhu did was for herself, and she didn't say anything more.
Although this crossing is really unreliable, and the poor have exceeded her lower limit, but fortunately, Li Tiezhu is still a reliable person.
